It will interesting -
I thought the BBC un-intentionally made a hero of DC Gene Hunt
They were trying to highlight his arrogant - sexist and homophobic attitudes
Unfortunatly (for them) Philip Glenister carried it off 'to well'
and we all fcuking loved it!!
We all loved his totally un-PC attitude like a breath of fresh air!!

The sandal wearing-Yogurt knitting Liberal BBC have many hidden agenda's and Feminism is one of 'em!
(not that I disagree with some of their arguments)

They could make DC hunt well, look like a right Cnut!
(the wording isn't lost on the BBC neither)
Like I said ..It will be interesting

Er, Life on Mars was developed by C4 before the BBC picked it up. By then Gene Hunt was written. The writers developed a warm, engaging character with the attitude of a bygone era. If they were trying to portray a sexist homophobe to meet some hidden, secret agenda, thats what they would have written.

I believe the BBC rejected it first time - Chan 4 rejected it too - before been rewritten for the BBC

Telegraph
(Matthew Graham, the lead writer of Life on Mars, had the scripts rejected by the BBC in 1999, and again by Channel 4 two years later. After many rewrites, the BBC eventually gave the green light.)

Don't get me wrong - I loved Life on Mars and thought Gene Hunt was excellent - like I said - a breath of fresh air

Just had a read up on Matthew Graham and seems a decent bloke and not your usual left wing script writer that seem to hog our television Drama's
